Vepřo-Knedlo-Zelo / Pork Roast with Dumpling and Sauerkraut
Vepřo-Knedlo-Zelo Pork Roast
This dish truly represents the Czech cuisine, and has been categorized as the
“National dish”.
Czech dishes are usually created and served by combining meat with some kind of sauce, and a side dish, (dumplings, potatoes, rice or pasta).
In this case this dish is a combination of Pork Roast, Sauerkraut and Dumplings.
There are different kinds of dumplings, and “Bread dumplings” best compliment this specific dish.
To save time, it’s better to work on making everything at the same time. Starting with chopping the onion, enough for both the roast and the sauerkraut. Than move on to the roast. Once the roast is safely in the oven, make the dumpling dough. And when the dumplings are rolled into shape, they have to rest for a little while, so here is your opportunity to get the sauerkraut going.
1) Houskový Knedlík – Bread Dumpling
2)Dušené Kyselé Zelí – Cooked Sauerkraut

Went to Czechoslovakia with my class in 1986 and was a fun time. Didn’t get to experience the Czech cuisine other than the Russian government controlled food. Would love to see how it is after all these years have been since I’ve been to the Czech Republic.
